I was tired, 7 meetings in 5 days will do that to you and if you are the entire prayer team then you notice that you will often have to pray for everyone, and sometimes twice. I had worked my way to the back of the church and had just prayed for the fifth person each of whom I thought was going to be the last when I felt a tap upon my sleeve.

She stood hesitantly before me not really sure of how to say what was on her heart. After a time of looking downward at her shoes her head slowly came up and she started talking before her eyes made it all the way to mine. She said, “When you prayed for me I felt the presence of God but I also had this feeling of something crawling on the side of my face. What do you think it means?”

Tired as I was her using the term “crawling on the side of my face,” made me sure that at least that part of what she had experienced was not of God. For some reason I asked her if she had any un-forgiveness toward anyone. She shook her head and told me no. I then asked if I could pray for her again and she told me that it would be all right. As I prayed for her I could see the signs of God’s presence upon her. She had the quivering lips and eyelids and the peaceful look that often accompanies the Holy Spirit on someone.

After a while I stopped and asked her how she was feeling. She said, “I can feel the Lord but after a while I began to feel something crawling on my skin.” Since it was late and going through an interview process with her would take us long into the night I asked her if this was her church. She said, “Yes,” so I asked if she had been to the pastors for any counseling. She said she had and they had taken her through a lot of deliverance.

Well, that made me understand a lot more but I still knew it would take a while so I asked her if I could set up an appointment with the Pastor and his wife for her as I had to catch an early flight back home the next morning. She said; “That would be fine.”

As I turned to go over to the pastor something inside of me made me turn back and before I had time to think words were already coming out of my mouth, “Who slapped you violently across the face!” I said it quietly but there was an authority behind the voice that amazed even me. I had no idea that I was about to say those words nor did I have a reason to even begin to say them to her. Before I had time to wonder about all of that I began to witness an unbelievable phenomena that was unfolding before me. The young ladies face was going through a series of distortions. I could see the reaction in the physical to what must have happened in the spiritual to her. A succession of spirits starting with shock, then fear, then pain, then anger, then revenge started to manifest upon her face one right after the other. It was literally like a succession of physical hits to her spirit that must have happened simultaneously to her when she was physically struck.

So fast was this picture that I had to work as rapidly as I could to pull her out of where she was going. I had been around enough people that have manifested demonically that I knew where she was going and if I didn’t work fast I would be having a full-blown demonic manifestation happening here within seconds. I immediately called out her name, over and over I told her to focus on Jesus and call out to him. Letting her know that I was here and Jesus was here and for her to gain control. To push back the accusations, the fear, shock, pain, to push it back and focus in on Jesus the lover of her soul. I left no room for the demonic to react, I kept pushing her to focus and gain control of herself, still at times I thought I was losing her as she almost stumbled and fell but finally her eyes became clearer, she blinked a couple of times and I knew she was back. No one but the catcher behind her knew what was happening. My voice was calm and normal except for the sentence I had spoken to her at the beginning. Even that was not loud but was given with authority. The look on the catchers face was interesting to observe, it took him longer to be able to speak than the woman. I could see that he was totally overwhelmed by what he had just witnessed. You won’t have to convince him that the demonic is real.

I looked at her and said, “Well it looks like we know what the problem is?” At that still dazed she nodded her head and followed me over to the pastor’s wife to make an appointment for the next day. As I talked with them they told me that she had gone through a very physical abusive divorce.

What happened to me is what we call “inspired speech”, a time when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you speak out the words of God. I do not do it often but it does happen. Mostly when I am to tired to resist or think to much, it really helps when you have been in the spirit for long periods of time. Being immersed in God is always good for inspired speech. It works like a word of knowledge for healing and some people operate in it more frequently than others.

Well tonight was interesting and good, the young lady will be free tomorrow and all is well. Like they say, “spot um, got um!” That group of demons was spotted and now they will be gotten rid of, no hiding now.

Since 1995 I have had the privilege of living in an incredible experience of God’s manifest presence. When we were touched by God so powerfully at that time we literaly shook under the anointing for months and months. Visions and dreams along with amazing opportunities to pray for people came to us one right after the other filling our lives with a bounty of experiences. We were and still are very much living with a ‘book of Acts’ experience.

Later when many were experiencing a decrease in experiences the Lord gave us the privilege of traveling with Randy Clark and Global Awakening propelling us around the world. For three years it became a daily experience to pray for many people living in an anointing that very few people get to experience on a daily basis. Now that Lois and I are out on our own ministering we have continually felt the river of His presence in our lives.

Because of this I wanted to share with you some insights into living under the anointing while fighting to have a personal relationship with our Father. I really want you to realize that there is a difference in being in a continual anointing while ministering and being in personal relationship. They are really two different things altogether. When you operate in your gifting God puts an anointing on His work that He is doing through you. That anointing is not a substitute for a relationship with the Father. There is a similarity between the two, both can be a physical experience that can be felt but that is as close as they come in comparison.

When I was touched so powerfully in May of 1995 two things happened to me. One was that I received a personal revelation of the Father’s love for me. I did fall in love with Him all over again, to tell you the truth it may have been that I saw Him for the first time because I cannot remember ever loving Him so much. It was truly a restoration of my ‘first love’.

The second thing that occurred was an incredible anointing came on the gifting that God had so blessed me with during the first 14 years of my walk with Him. It seemed like I was raised from grade 3 to college level prayer when it came time to praying for the sick. The depth of revelation in dreams and visions also increased as if I passed from looking through a glass darkly to seeing with incredible clarity. From that day forward I enjoyed an incredible feeling of swimming in liquid love every time I ministered in His name.

Sadly though, as I think many of us do, we find the anointing of gifting easier to maintain than the anointing that comes from friendship. After all isn’t it the same? The answer is really quite simple, no it isn’t the same. The cries from those standing off to the side saying, “When are you going to get up off the floor and do something?” really did mess with our heads. After all isn’t this what we were waiting for all along? To go and heal the sick, raise the dead and do the ‘stuff’ as John Wimber used to say. When the 72 came back an exclaimed about the anointing they were under Jesus put it in perspective when he said “Do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are in heaven!” Luke 10:17-20

Probably the easiest way of saying it is this way, even if you had the anointing of a gifted story teller as TD Jakes or the anointed prophetic gifting of a Cindy Jacobs or the blessing of being know as one who fans the flames of revival like Randy Clark it still comes down to the basics, can you climb into the lap of the one who loves you, look into His eyes and find your perfect rest. It doesn’t really matter if you are used greatly or not, falling into love and abiding continually in that love is what is great, neglecting your love is heartbreaking.

I have heard it exclaimed from those around the world who are used mightily by God that they are dry and in need of another infilling from God. Why is it that we are so surprised when we hear them say this? From the greatest to the smallest the challenge has always been the same, God chooses intimacy over ministry every time. That is why Jesus said to the people in Matthew 7:23 concerning those who chose anointing over relationship,

(And do you know what I am going to say? “You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don’t impress me one bit. You’re out of here.’)(The Message)

There is a yearning in our hearts for ‘papa’ to hold us. My desire and my prayer are as one, God if you should ever visit me powerfully again I will choose you over all else. Intimacy and relationship first and foremost, love for my wife which is pure and honoring comes out of intimacy with my Father, followed by love for my children. Then Lord may I not forget to minister to those you send me to and not to think that the ministry should be put before all else. Help me to keep it in perspective otherwise I will choose the anointing of doing the ‘stuff’ for God over the anointing of being with my God.

If I never do another thing may I be known as one who loves the Lord my God with all his heart, soul and mind. Daddy I love you so much.
